Making an image smaller can make it appear blurry if you don&#8217;t do it right.  This can make the picture less clear than it should be.<\/p>\n<p>This is a problem in many editing programs, but Adobe Photoshop has the tools to fix this.<\/p>\n<p>To perform this function you must own at least the CS version of Photoshop.  If you don&#8217;t have this version, you may want to get it as it has far advanced features.  Buying the software will get rid of the limitations you may have when editing your pictures.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce the size of an image go to Image&gt; Image Size.  Select Resample Image and then select Bicubic Sharper from the menu.  This is the optimal setting for reducing the blurring of the image when you resize it.<\/p>\n<p>When you want to make an image larger, select Bicubic Smoother.<\/p>\n<p>This process is so effective that I would recommend setting Bicubic Sharper as the default selection when you start the software.  You can do this by going to Preferences&gt; General&gt; Image Interpolation.  Here you can select Bicubic Sharper as the default.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that performing more than one resize on an image will give it more blur.  To experiment with the size that you want, use a duplicate image as multiple resizing will ruin the original image.  Once you&#8217;ve found the size you want, you can apply the dimensions to the original image.<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>Did you enjoy this article?
